  b. 35-36

No indication in A1 & EL

dimin. in bar 35 in CJ

dim. in bar 36 in CK

dimin. in bar 36 in CB

In the main text we stick to the notation of CJ, since Kolberg could have moved the indication dim. so that it does not contradict the continuation of the  dynamics, valid half a bar ago. Such a literal interpretation of these indications would also explain the omission of dim. in EL.
